Hi I am new to the Bimota world, with a SB8R in my garage since a few months
While plugging/ unplugging the fuel tank connection I noticed a small fuel leakage which stops after a few seconds but gives me little confidence that it would not cause any issues while riding
Is this a known problem and does changing the small gasket at the connector solve the issue? Or is there another way to fix this?
Thanks
David

Hi David,
I guess you are talking about the plastic connexion ?
It does not age well due to the contact with the fuel.
Mine just broke while reconnecting it few years ago.
I had it replaced by a metal connexion and had no problem since then.
